Did he break his probation?

Question

if someone was charged with growing weed...

and while on probation got a job at a pond garden/hydroponic store

could that be grounds for breaking their probation?

please only answer if you have such lawful knowledge

Answer 1

If he /she was smart all they would have to do is call their P.O. and ask them before taking the job. I do Juvenile P.O. and kids do stupid things but as an adult my tolerance was NONE. Got to be smarter than the average bear.      

Answer 2

it really depends

Answer 3

It would depend on the terms and conditions of this persons probation.

I doubt that a person caught for growing weed would be found in violation of his probation for working for a garden store.  Unless that is specifically prohibited in the terms and conditions of this persons probation.

As a PO, I have never encountered such a restriction.  Now, what I have seen are employment restrictions that prevent someone convicted of identy theft from working in areas where they may come across personal identifying information, like the DMV, etc.  I have seen people convicted of theft, restricted from working with elderly people living in assisted living homes, or people convicted of s*x offenses from working at certain jobs where they would have contact with young people ... i.e. a school, daycare, or a fast food restaurant.

So, if this guys term of probation had a restriction on working at garden stores, then yes ... if not, probably not.
